The reduction of internal revenue
and the taking off of revenue STAMPS
from proprietary medicines. no doubt
has largely benefited the consumers as
well as relieving the burden of home
manufacturers. Especially is this the
case with "Green's August Flower"
and "Boschee's German Syrup. as the
reduction of thirty-s;x cents per dozen.
has been added to increase the size of
the bottles containing these remedies.
thereby giving one-fifth more mgiicine
in the Is cent size. The August Flower
for dyspepsia and liver complaint, and
the German Syrup for cough and lung
troubles, have perhaps. the largest sale
OF any medicines in the world. The
advantage Of increased size of the bot

sick and afflicted, in every town and

At Monsa, not far from Milan, the eel
ebrated iron crown is shown. This re-
nowned relic is placed in the Cathedral.
You 90 into the crypt and in casket OF
precious metal this famous head adorn-
ment is most sacredly guarded. The
iron crown, as every one knows, is said
TO contain one of the nails from the
original cross, and on this account it Is
most sacred. If you wish to see it you
pay the fee of five francs. The altar
boy swings the censor, and incense
perfumes the air, and then putting
on his robes, and making the sign of the
cross, the priest ascends three steps to
the altar, and the porter hands him large
key. He unlocks the outer door and finds
inside another key, and unlocks similar
door, Finally a third door is opened
and displays the celebrated relic within
a glass case resting on satin cushion. 1t
is brought out, and after crossing himself
the priest lifts the glass case and allows
one TO inspect it. The crown itself is
broad hoop of gold adorned with precious
stones, which are set around the hoop In
diamond or half diamond shapes. Around
the interior is a thin strip of iron said
to have been made from one of the
nails of the true cross, and brought
by the Empress Helena from Pales-
tine. Thirty-four Lombard kings have
been crowned with this venerable relic,
and it is the same one that Napo-
leon placed on his head with the
words, God has placed it there;
let any one disturb it who dares."

you, and YOU 90 miles 10 STE them, and
find after all they are nothing much, or
nothing very interesting. You look
around among old tombs, poke your
head in little holes down in the cata-
combs to see a bone, or piece of bone,
hundreds of years old, or look with great
interest as a monk points out a bit Of
paint or daub which he says is piece of
ancient fresco work that was done
many years ago by people who lived
under the earth to escape persecution.
Of course it is very interesting to see
these tombs where people lived and
died. and you cannot help but Won
der how such things could be; but when
you 60 into churches and they take you
into some crypts or sealedup tombs and
ask you for dollar to show you golden
coffin of some dead celebrity, it seems far
worse than if you paid ten cents to see
an armless wonder or a bearded lady in
an American dime museum.

"HaIIoo z, and "Hurrah I"

Among EXPLANATIONS in common use such
as "Halloop' and "Hurrah !" have curious
origins attributed to them. 1t is said by the
author of the Queens English that the
people of Charnwood Forest, Leicestershire,
lance, call out, not "Halloo!" but "halloup"
This he imagines is survival Of the times
when one cried to another, "a loup loup"
or as we would now say wolf! wolf!'
"Hurrah" again, according to M. Littre, is
derived from the Slavonic huraj, ito Para
disc" which signifies that all soldiers who
fsll fighting nv:alian'tly went straight to
ruption of II pray thee" while marry was
originally in Polish times method Of

After having viewed the relic to your
hearts content the priest carefully puts
it back in its glass case, crosses himself,
again mounts the stairs and places it
within its much locked casket. He goes
through the locking of the doors, hands
the keys to the porter, the censor is
swung again, and the priest, after getting
his fee, departs.
These are perhaps the largest fees that
are charged for any single relic in Italy
($1) Generally it is one lire, which
is equal to franc, or twenty cents, and
this is given to the custodian, or guide,
who shows you around. If it is small
party he is quite content with twenty
cents; but if there are more than two or
three persons, you have to pay more.
You have to pay; no matter where it is,
when, or how, that fee comes out.

which is alone worth $15, 900. All about
the rock crystal coffin are hung crosses

the cross before the body, and then
